COMPANY POLICIES:

You are responsible to ensure the company has the best contact phone numbers to reach you on the day of your move. We will not dispatch our trucks or any crews without making contact with you on move day. The customer or his/her representative must be present during the start of the move and final walk-through.

For hourly rate services, our time runs continuously until all of your service needs are completely satisfied.Job Time = Labor Time + Travel Time + Fuel Fee. Labor Time: The clock starts once movers arrive at your origin address (whether you are ready or not) and continues throughout the unloading and reassembly at the destination or storage address until our tools and equipment are back in our truck(s) and ends when payment is completed. Travel Time: Time added to Labor Time in order to compensate time spent traveling from our warehouse to the shipper’s point of origin and from the destination address back to our warehouse. After you book a move Travel Time is flat. It does not matter how long it actually takes to reach you. Any Break Time will be deducted off your total Job Time.

We accept cash, money orders, company checks, credit/debit cards (3% processing fee on all electronic payments). WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

For all moves, you must pay the reservation deposit with a credit/debit card. The remaining balance due must be paid upon completion of your job before we leave the premises. Any damages must be noted on our damage report during the final walk-through and photos must be taken with our company camera before we leave. If damage does occur to items at the time of the move, you are legally responsible to pay the full amount for the move. Then you must go through the claims process.

We only move empty aquariums. (This means empty of water and creatures such as lizards, turtles and snakes).

We do NOT move waterbeds or jacuzzis.

If the move requires work above and beyond the original order for services, we reserve the right to fulfill other obligations before completing your additional work.

Company reserves the right to reschedule the move at an agreed upon time, without liability of any kind, if there is inclement weather, including but not limited to, rain, snow, ice, etc. This is for the safety of not only the moving crews, but of our valued clients and their belongings as well. Company is not responsible for delay or trip termination due to weather or unsafe road conditions (i.e. snow/ice, unsalted roads, accidents or other circumstances beyond the company’s control, etc). If work is performed under any of these conditions additional time may be required.

Company is not liable in the event of a mechanical breakdown while on charter and will only be responsible for making up lost time at a mutually agreed upon date.

We reserve the right to send extra men to complete a job if the scope of work is more then what was described in the original phone assessment or if the work time is running beyond 8 man-hours. The customer will be charged accordingly.

We reserve the right to limit our work day to 12 hours per job. All time billed after 8 hours is considered overtime and will be charged an additional $15.00 per hour per employee.

Our movers will move your pianos, appliances and items over 300 lbs. if indeed the work can be done safely. We do not move any of these items up or down stairs. Any of these items that are moved up or down stairs is done as a courtesy and Correira Bros LLC will not be held liable for any damages or loss resulting from the moving of any of these items. We will not do anything that we deem to be unsafe in any way.

If a piano has light weight legs (usually the front), we will not be responsible if they will not go back on if we have to take them off (sometimes the nut is loose inside the piano and will turn when you try to replace the leg).

Customer is responsible to arrange adequate parking for company’s vehicle(s) prior to the move. Customer agrees to pay any parking fees or tickets assessed to the carrier for any vehicles while under hire by the customer at the time of the charge. Company will not take a truck off pavement or on steep grades unless deemed safe by the crew, or unless approved by the office. We will not drive our truck(s) over freshly paved/graveled driveways.

If customer fails to properly pack fragile items, customer assumes all risks and responsibility for any damages.

For safety reasons, small children and pets must be kept out of work area. Our immediate work zone can be a hazardous place where serious injury could occur. We also reserve the right to delay or refuse service if we arrive at a job location and there are other service providers working on site such as painters, carpenters, roofers, locksmiths, etc. This is NOT a safe scenario for relocation services to be performed. If canceled or rescheduled this will be treated the same as article #15 (a cancellation or reschedule on the day of your move) and the base fee will be charged to you according to the number of movers plus any distance traveled.

You will be asked to sign a waiver if we agree to attempt a move that we deem unsafe or unreasonable.

Due to safety laws and regulations our company will not move any flammables or hazardous materials.

When moving household items, our company has found deterioration occurs over time due to age/heat/dry rotting. Mattresses lump and disfigure upon disturbing, lamp shades and lamp bases and wiring also become brittle and rotten. If you wish, we will move them carefully, but will not be responsible for damage of deteriorated items. If due to an inherent weakness in a piece of furniture (i.e. defect, prior repair, unstable construction) if damage occurs, you understand that we will not be liable for any damages to that piece.

Moving policy in regards to particle board / simulated wood products / ready to assemble furniture: since these items are not structurally created to be moved once assembled, we will not repair or replace these items if they are damaged by our services. Particle board/simulated wood/ready to assemble furniture products and pressed board have poor structural integrity which does not lend itself to moving or repair. We will move these items carefully but cannot be responsible for any damage of said furniture. These items are excluded from any and all moving insurance coverage.

While under contract, all fees will be paid for by the client.

All deposits are non-refundable unless we are unable to fulfill your order.Services can be rescheduled with no penalty (subject to availability), deposits are never lost and can be transferred and applied to any service offered.

Our company cannot be responsible for dents or scratches on major appliances. They are covered by a thin metal that has an extreme affinity to dent and scratch.

Our company will not repair or replace pressed board or simulated wood furniture. Much of the budget priced furniture today is made from a pressed wood or wood byproduct material w/ a photograph of wood grain attached. Some of the wood grain look is simply paper and some is very thin plastic material like on lower end kitchen cabinets. This type of material is not structurally strong, especially if it has screws, since the screw threads have no real grain to imbed into, just crumbly pressed wood chips held together by some binding agent. It is not repairable and we have seen it crumble from the smallest vibrations riding in a truck across town. Do not EVEN ask us to repair or replace this type of furniture! We will do our best to move it successfully for you. This type of furniture is specifically excluded from basic and increased insurance coverage. Please see article #23 of company policies.

Our company accepts no responsibility and will not be held liable in the event that our actions cause inconvenience, loss of earnings or any other cost to the customer even in cases where such losses are due to our negligence.
